Jim Rogers Interview

Multimedia | May 24th, 2008

I interviewed Jim Rogers today in Singapore for my film. Details to come, but it was amazing to see his 5 year-old blue-eyed daughter speak Mandarin Chinese.

    Do you know which Chinese dialect is predominantly used in finance?

  • Rio

    where is the interview?

  • DG Dye

    Having made several trips to China over the last few years, I returned each time astonished with the pace of growth in the country and a warning for my fellow North Americans: There is a tsunami coming and you better learn to float.

    The stark contrast between our obsession with victim mentality, pop culture, goofy worker demands, and trivia versus the Chinese work ethic of seven days per week, eyes on the financial prize and just getting it done jumps up at you when you visit China for a few weeks and then return home.

    We can put up artificial trade barriers against the Chinese to hide our high costs of production and overall inefficiencies, but they only delay the inevitable. One way or another, our economy will be completely revamped over the next decade. The question is, will we be leading the economic charge or will we be trampled under foot?

    China does not present the ONLY threat to the American economy. Russia, under Putin’s lead, has a greater threat potential.

    The biggest threat to the American economy are Americans.

    One thing my dad always said to me growing up: you must be willing to learn; be open to new culture “educate your self” be opened minded. we Americans are accustomed to a fairly easy way of living and to complaint about everything. Brain washed that we are the world super power and other countries have to cater to us. I feel that is going to hit us in the face one day. It is sad to say it but it is what it is.

  • Vexille

    Mandarin is the language you want to learn. Cantonese is but a small percentage of the Chinese population. Cantonese has international exposure because it is spoken in Hong Kong, which has been the gateway into China for the last while, but pretty much any businessman in Hong Kong has learned to speak Mandarin- otherwise he wouldn’t be a very good businessman.

    Just wondering why we are not allowed to see the Jimmy Rogers interview that took place in May???

    It is part of a film I am finishing.

  • Pepper

    Since you were discussing about learning Mandarin, I found an amazing software for learning Chinese. I am using the software for a couple of months now and it’s not only an easy way to learn Chinese, but also very effective. I went on a business trip to China 2 weeks ago and I was surprised that I already could communicate with the Chinese people. Just try it out for the next business trip. I can only recommend that!
